Navigating FCA non-financial misconduct:Judgement, governance and leadership
The FCA’s non‑financial misconduct rules place in‑house lawyers at a challenging intersection of regulation, ethics and commercial leadership. This interactive session explores how senior lawyers and compliance leaders navigate these tensions in practice.
We will cover:
- Embedding FCA Conduct expectations in a commercial way
How to implement Conduct Rules in a holistic way supporting delivery and judgement, rather than positioning legal or compliance as blockers - Reporting, governance and cross‑functional alignment
How legal, HR, compliance and leadership work together to meet rising FCA and SRA expectations on conduct, culture and non‑financial misconduct—and the additional responsibilities lawyers carry as Officers of the Court - Senior judgement calls: When to hold the line or move on
Reflections on challenging senior‑level decisions, including when roles or environments no longer align with professional standards or personal values
Nikki Newton of Taylor Root, Eve Ellis and Amanda Raad of Ropes & Gray, and Juliet Oliver of Passmore & Oliver will lead with insights. There’ll be plenty of time for exchanging scenarios and tips with fellow PELF members.
